As part of our regular collection series, SongEun ArtSpace presents the selected artworks from FRAC (Fonds Régionaux d’Art Contemporain). FRACs are French Regional Collections of Contemporary Art created in 1982 as part of the policy of devolution of power set by the government via regional councils in order for art to be present in each and every one of France’s twenty three regions. Today, the FRACs’ collections gather 26,000 works from 5,400 French and foreign artists. A part from collecting artworks as their first mission, they also display it for all kinds of audiences and invent new ways to educate to contemporary creation. Platform is the umbrella organisation of the 23 French Regional Collections of contemporary in France. This national network regularly coordinates collective projects abroad in order to show the FRACs’ collections internationally.
This exhibition has been curated by Laurence Gateau (Director of FRAC des Pays de la Loire) and Anne-Claire Duprat (General Secretary of Platform) in discussion with the FRAC Directors and with the SongEun ArtSpace, and is a selected works of twenty eight French and foreign artists from the FRACs collections.
